A Few weeks later...

"Natasha, I've already told you-"

"I know, Fury, but let me go with him. Please," Natasha said, trying to convince Nick to let her go on the mission where Steve would arrest Nikolay. "You know how Steve and I are on the field. We work amazingly good. Like no other agents you have ever seen in your life,"she was standing in front of his desk, hands on her hips while raising her brow at the director.

Fury sighed and closed his eye,"Romanoff,"he said.

Natasha put her hands on his desk and stared blankly at his face. Nick, opens his eye, then starts to feel uncomfortable, maybe even intimidated, by Natasha's stare.

He sighed again and says, "you are gonna get me in trouble for this." Natasha smirks and stands straight up, feeling proud of her intimidating skills. "He's going to leave in three hours,"Fury told her, while standing from his seat.

"Thank you, nick. I owe you a big one,"she nods.

"Oh hell yeah, you do,"Fury smirks. "Be careful,"he says as she starts walking out of his office, "and try to control that jealously of yours!"

Natasha chuckled and said over her shoulder,"no promises."

She heard a little laugh from the office, and made her way to the hanger.

The real reason Natasha wanted to go on this mission, is because agent 13 was going. Damn this jealousy of hers! She hated to feel like this, and make Steve think she didn't trust him, she hated that. But when he was near a woman - especially near Sharon, her blood boiled so fast and couldn't contain herself.

The spy walked out into the landing pads where all of SHIELD's quinjets were, and reached the one where Steve was supposed to go in

"Hey! What are you doing here?"Cap smiled when he saw his wife.

Natasha smiled back and walked toward him. "Fury called me last minute,"she said and immediately saw Sharon inside the quinjet out of the corner of her eye, so the redhead wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed Steve deeply, but he put his hands on her waist to pull her back, because he didn't want to blush right now.

He smirks."To join the mission?"Cap asked and kisses her cheek.

"Yep" Natasha said, still hugging him from his neck and sharing glances with Carter. "So, what's the mission about?"she asks while resting her forehead on his.

"Uhh, a guy named Nikolay. He's responsible for terrorist attacks, murders, frauds, etcetera, etcetera,"Steve sighed and put one hand on her left cheek.

Natasha closed her eyes and hums."What's the plan?"she asks,opening her eyes to look at him.

"Simple,"the captain shrugged his shoulders and said, "we head to his location. Spot him. Arrest him, and if he resist the arrest, we kill him. Piece of cake," he finished saying, then pecked a kiss on her lips.

"Kay," Natasha giggled at his kisses. Once they finished with their 'public displays of affection', the blondie saw it was time to go, so he yelled at his team

"Let's go team!"Steve slipped a hand around his wife's waist and walked proudly by her side.

Hours later, on the quinjet...

"Where's Nikolay's location?"Captain America asked into his comm.

"Hhhh..right now sir. He's still inside the house," an agent respond to him - an agent that was already on the location and was spying on the target's movements.

"Okay, track every move he makes until we arrive,"the captain ordered.

"Roger that,"he says as the conversation was ended.

Steve nodded and put away the earpiece."Listen up!"he yelled at the 10 agents that were on this mission, "we're going to separate in two teams." The agents and Natasha gathered up to listen closely at Cap's plan.

"Blue team,"Steve began to say, "we are going in the front of the house."Half of the agents nodded to the captain. "Red team, led by Natasha,"Steve turned his eyes to her, and she nods at him, "Will be entering behind the house. Arrest the ones who want to escape, we'll arrest the ones inside. If there is trouble, kill them, even if it is the target."He still has his eyes on his woman, later to look at the rest of the agents, "did I make myself clear?"

"Yes sir!"all the agents said.

Cap nods,"Okay, and remember, our priority is Nikolay,"he told them, as the pilot announced they were landing. He nodded to the pilot and yells to the team,"let's go agents!"and they all quickly grabbed their weapons, and headed to their positions.

Once blue team got in place, Steve hid behind a thick tree as the rest of blue team were hiding behind bushes, laying on their stomach or kneeling. His team was composed of agents Anderson, Terry, Cruz, Thompson and Carter. Steve decided to get her on his team to avoid 'World War 3'.

"Natasha, do you copy?"he says through his SHIELD stealth uniform sleeve.

"Yeah. We're getting in position"Natasha replies with a not happy tone.

"Okay, wait for our signal"Cap nods and says to two of his team, "Carter, Anderson, on me." The agents moved towards the captain, carefully to not be spotted by the enemy. "There are four men patrolling around the house. I want you guys to knock them out them silently,"he orders, and Anderson and Carter nodded as they moved down the hill were the house was, and where the men were.

Steve watched them closely as they approached the men. The two agents ran towards their targets and knocked out the four men fast and well performed.

Cap nodded and quickly told them from the comm,"drag them over an hidden spot, quickly."Sharon and Anderson grabbed the men and dragged them behind the nearest bushes.

"Good,"the captain said as he saw they did their job, so he again talked though his mic, "Nat?"

"Yes, baby?"Natasha said seductively as she saw Sharon return and hide very near the captain

"Remember. Wait for my signal,"Steve told her.

"Of course, my love,"the Black Widow purred, earning a blush on Steve's cheeks, because all the agents could hear their conversation

The agents smiled or just smirked at the couple's love affection show, except for one woman.

"Steve?"Sharon said from her hidden spot. Natasha rolled hard her eyes at Sharon's voice as rogers said

"Yes, Sharon?" Cap turned to the lady almost next to him.

"Why don't we surround them all together?"Carter suggested.

"Uhh,"he tilted his head.

"I mean,"Sharon raised her brow, "it's easier and faster."

Cap narrowed his eyebrows while thinking on her plan, "yeah, it's a good plan, but-."

Natasha growled in her mind and cut him off,"yes, STEVE." The redhead stared at the tree where Steve was hiding, knowing very well Sharon was near there too. So the spy continued saying sarcastically, "why don't we surround them?"

"I think it's too dangerous,"Steve said, thinking of the plan.

Natasha chuckled and stood up from her hiding position, "dangerous, honey?"She took out her pistols from her holsters and said, "dangerous is my last name."

Steve widened his eyes, knowing exactly what was going to happen next."Nat, what are you doing?"he asked and peeked around from behind the tree, to see where she was now standing up.

"Following your orders, babe," Natasha smirks at him from the other side of where the house was.

"I didn't order anything-" he protested before being cut off again.

"Come on!"his wife yelled at her team, while she ran down the hill.

"Wait! Natasha!" Nope. She didn't hear him, or most likely IGNORED him."Damn it!" Steve growled and quickly got up, yelling at his team, "Let's go!"

Fast, the blue team followed the captain, as the leader of the Avengers heard a loud bang to a door, and an agent yelling, "This is SHIELD, put your hands where we can see them!"The red team quickly entered the house and aimed at the nearest men.

That's when the gunfire started to begin. Steve reached the front door and kick it in, sending the piece of wood meters away. When he entered the house, men were already aiming at him and shot, but the captain reacted quickly and shielded himself, crouching and hiding behind a, now flipped, desk. To his surprise, the love of his life was hidden there too, reloading her weapons.

Steve growled at her and said between his teeth, "damn it, Natasha! I'd told you to wait!" He saw a grenade land near them, and he quickly grabbed it and threw it back to the enemy.

"Oh sorry, sweetie,"Natasha said sarcastically as the grenade detonated and she quickly stood up to killed the ones who survived the explosion, while her husband was throwing his shield. The spy saw they were clear so she faced the captain and said annoyed, "I saw you were too occupied receiving orders, so I couldn't wait."

Steve closes his eyes and sighs, "go get the ones outside." He turned around and walked towards the stairs, hooking his shield behind him. Maybe upstairs an agent had already arrested Nikolay.

"Fine,"Natasha rolled her eyes and went outside.

Steve climbed up the stairs while saying, "agents, don't let anyone escape."

He reached the second story and started opening every door on the floor. When the finished opening the last door, he frowned not seeing Nikolay at all, so he started panicking, because the target may have escaped.

"Does anyone have eyes on Nikolay?!"Cap yelled into his mic, and waited for a positive answer. "Agents?" he asked at not hearing an answer from the whole team.

"I see him!" Anderson screamed into the Captain's earpiece. "He's heading to a black suburban! He's escaping!"the agent yelled as Steve looked from the widow that showed Nikolay running toward a black SUV.

Cap didn't think twice, when he ran into the window and jumped out of the house. Landing gracefully, he ran towards the target, also noticing agents were running too while shooting at the car. When Rogers was near Nikolay, Nikolay entered the vehicle and hit the gas. Cap unhooked his shield from his back and threw it into the back tire, making it explode as the shield flew back to him. He was about to throw it again, when and unknown gunshot took out the other back tire, making the vehicle lose its grip and crash into a tree.

Steve ran faster and took out his emergency pistol from his boot, reaching the SUV and aiming straight.

"Get out of the car, and show me your hands. Now!" the captain yelled while seeing the men inside the vehicle were dizzy. He opened the door and kept aiming at them as the rest of the agents arrived too.

The agents started to shout the same things as they started to pull the enemies out of the car, including Nikolay. Cap sighed, relieved, and put his gun down, as the others arrested the enemy. Steve turned around and saw Natasha walking towards them. She made eye contact with him, but Steve quickly broke it as he sensed Sharon standing besides him.

Cap looked at the blonde woman and smiled warmly."Thanks, agent,"he said, knowing that she was the one who shot the other tire.

While waiting for a SHIELD truck to get Nikolay and his men to the country's jail, Steve called Nick to inform him about the arrest of the target.

"Did you get him?"the eye patched man said from the other line.

"Yes, Fury. We've got him," Steve was sitting on a boulder near the scene.

Fury sighed relieved too,"ughh ! Thank God," he yelled as the captain chuckled at his director. "Okay, get your ass over here and bring me the mission report,"Nick said, returning to his serious composure.

"Yes sir,"Cap said and hung up and put his phone away.

"Was that Fury?"Steve heard and turned his head and saw a beautiful redhead standing next to him.

"Yeah,"he turns his head away and stood up, not wanting to speak to her right now.

Natasha narrowed her eyes."Are you mad?"she asked, knowing certainly that he was mad.

"No,"Steve responded coldly and walked toward the quinjet - that had now landed near where they were.

"I know you too well, and you can't hide it from me,"she was saying while trying to keep up with his long strides.

"Just leave me alone okay? So I can cool down,"the captain interrupted her, walking faster.

When they reached the entrance of the empty jet, Natasha stopped walking and sees that he kept walking inside, wanting distance from her. She crossed her arms and said,"so you are mad."Steve sighed frustrated and turned to look at her.

"Damn it Natasha! Yes! I'm mad! Angry... Disappointed,"he yelled at her, walking forward, while Natasha stared at him emotionless. "You almost ruined an entire mission that was carefully planned months ago, and the mission that Clint broke his leg for!"Steve narrowed his brows furiously and stood in front of her. The spy kept staring at the captain as she brings her sarcasm out.

"Me? Wow. I can't believe it.."she says, and cap rolled his eyes and turned around, walking away from her. Natasha growled and murmured, "..the one you have to be mad is with…"

Steve stopped in his tracks, hearing very well what she said. So he turned his face to her and asked,"With who? Sharon?" his eyebrows rose, and she didn't respond. Throwing his hands to the air, Steve said "Jesus Christ, Natasha. I thought you were over that."He shook his head in disappointment

"Well it seems that you're not over it,"the redhead fires back. The captain stared at her, trying to read her face, but he couldn't. He walked further, so he could be inches apart from her.

"What are you trying to say?... That I love Sharon?" the blonde man frowned back and let out a little incredulous laugh. "I've never given you reasons to doubt me, Natasha,"cap knitted his brows, saying, "and believe me or not...I'll never give them to you."He sees directly into her, telling him that she was really really sorry for doubting him. But right now he truly needed time alone to cool off his anger and disappointment.

"Captain Rogers!"agent Anderson yelled from the truck Nikolay was already escorted in.

Steve turned his glance at the agent and nodded at him, then looked at tasha. "Excuse me," he told her and made his way to the truck, leaving an speechless Natasha behind, leaving her with her guilty and sorrow. When he reached the truck, the agent apologized to the captain.

"I'm sorry I interrupted the talk with your wife sir," Anderson said and cap shook his head.

"It's okay agent. What's the matter?"Steve asked as they were in front of the vehicle.

"The Nikolay guy demands to see you," Thomas said.

Cap frowned and narrowed,"for what?"he asked and the agent shrugged his shoulders. Steve lowered his head and sighed, "Okay, where is he?"Rogers lifts his head and the agent gestured towards the back of the truck. When Steve and the agent walked behind, Nikolay saw the captain and smirked as cap asked,

"I'm here. What do you-"

"Finally!"Nikolay yelled. "The captain decided to come,"the man stared at Steve, who set is jaw tightly.

"What do you want?"Steve asked and put his hands on his hips. Nikolay sighed

"Well, as you can see,"he showed his hands, handcuffed, to the captain. "I've been arrested."

Rogers shrugs his shoulders."So?"he asked as the man in front of him chuckled.

"So, my dearest Captain America,"Nikolay's eyes settled on Steve's. "The end of the Avengers has come,"he said while lifting his chin proudly at the captain. "This is exactly what WE wanted."Nikolay smiled as Steve tensed up and balled his hands into fists.

Cap walked forward and asked the man,"who's WE?"Nikolay chuckles and keeps his eyes on Steve's, not answering his question. Rogers' anger grew, even more than when he was talking minutes ago with Natasha. Steve impatiently grabbed Nikolay's shirt and gritted his teeth, asking, "who's we?"Cap lifted Nikolay away from his feet, as the agent was trying to release Nikolay from the captain's strong grip. Steve stared furiously at the man.

"Wait...and see,"Nikolay smirked and laughed at the captain, while agent Anderson and another two agents were struggling to take Nikolay away from cap. Steve growled and put down Nikolay.

"Take him away,"Captain Rogers ordered and walked away while hearing Nikolay's evil laugh grow as the agents were putting him inside the truck.

The way back to NY, Steve totally ignored Natasha's attempt to speak with him, or even cross glances. He still wanted space, because what he hated the most was an agent, soldier, or even an Avenger that didn't follow his orders. He'd be very mad at them, not because he wanted to boss everyone around, but because he felt responsible for his team, his friends. He was not angry anymore with Natasha, now he was angry with himself, because if one of his team didn't follow his orders he was not a good leader then, because they wouldn't believe in his talents. They would do whatever they thought was correct. They would fail, or even get killed, and he was not going to let that happen. Not under his leadership. He wouldn't see Natasha get hurt, he would never forgive himself.

As the quinjet landed on the pad, the captain didn't say a word and quickly grabbed his belongings, heading toward Nick's office, to give him the mission report. Natasha stood from her seat quietly while seeing on the corner of her eye her husband's fast steps.

Steve reached the director's office and knocked, slowly opening the door, seeing Maria on the huge table finishing gathering some papers on folders.

"Oh hi, Steve,"agent Hill greeted.

Steve smiled warmly and nods,"Hi maria. Where's Fury?"He looked over to Nick's desk, not seeing him there.

"Right now he's in a meeting. But it's almost over,"Maria told the captain and quickly gathered the remaining papers. "If you want to wait until it ends,"she turned to see Steve, who was standing behind a chair on front of Fury's desk. Cap nodded and smiles gently at the agent.

"Sure, I will. Just want to go home,"he admitted. Hill smirks and turns to glance over the papers.

"Fine then," Maria put the last paper in a folder and grabbed them all. She put all the folders into her arms and looks at the captain. "Make yourself comfortable, and see you later."Hill smiles and Steve smiles back. She walked out the office, and closed the door behind her. When she turned around, Maria bumped into a sexy spy.

"Oh," the brunette gasped. "Nat."

The redhead, coldly interrupted her,"Fury?" she asked. Hill knitted her brows while adjusting the folders in her arms.

"In a meeting," Maria told her, but Natasha groaned at the answer, so she said, "but your husband is inside. If you want to wait for Fury too."Hill nodded her head at the door behind her.

Natasha stares at her and said, "thanks." The spy nods as Maria steps aside, letting her in.

"Sure thing," the agent smiled and left the hallway.

The redhead sighed while grabbing the door knob, sensing the anger inside in the room, but mostly on Steve.

So, she slowly and quietly opened the door and looks over at Nick's desk to see a blonde, handsome man, sitting in front of the desk, tapping his foot impatiently on the floor. Natasha smirks and uses her stealth moves to walk and get behind his chair. Once she successfully reached him, tasha slides her hands across his chest. Steve tenses at her touch and sighs.

"Natasha, please,"he grabbed her small hands and took them away from him. Standing up, he put distance between them, tuning his back to her.

"Are you seriously still mad at me?" Natasha growled at him. "Okay, if you want to hear an 'I'm sorry'..okay.." she said. "I'm sorry."

Steve lowers his head and rubbed his temples, saying"it's not a simple 'I'm sorry' Natasha."He lifts his head and looks at her over his shoulder. "You risked the agents lives and,"cap paused and turned his body to look at her, "yours." He sounded pretty hurt and Natasha's guilt grew more and more when she saw his eyes.

"It won't happen again. I promise,"Natasha walked towards him.

"Okay so," Steve lifted his hand, telling her to stop walking forward."Next time, make sure you leave your fucking ego and jealousy behind, and follow my orders in the field," he said and walked towards the exit.

Natasha sighed as she saw him walking away."Steve," she called him and tried to get him to come back, but she couldn't stop the captain. Steve shut the door and stormed out the office.

While walking down the hallway, Maria saw him passing by

"Cap?"she said curiously. He stopped and saw who called him out, once seeing it was agent Hill, he told her.

"Tell Fury I'll give him the mission report later,"Steve said coldly, between his teeth. Maria nodded slowly and watched him walk away.

Feel free to comment ;) they make me smile...
